Thx, Pete. Gorgeous Red Heart. The smiling image and that colorful background make that one classic baseball card.

And that example looks way more like an 8-9 from here!

I looked quite a while for one with good centering, no slight registration shift resulting in a white line along the neck and blurring in the lettering on the cap, and no print lines. As for the grade, I have no clue, but I'm fine with it as it was much cheaper than an 8 would have been.

That was what struck me I realize, that registration is really rare for that card. That example pops as a result. Tough card to shop for btw the usual centering and registration shift problems.
